The northeastern corner of Vermont around Westfield supports multiple camping styles across several recreational areas. Campgrounds in this region, often called the Northeast Kingdom, include Tree Corners Family Campground in Irasburg and Lake Carmi State Park in Enosburg Falls. Most developed campgrounds accommodate both tent and RV camping, with select locations offering cabin rentals. Lake Carmi State Park features waterfront sites and boat-in camping options, while several smaller private campgrounds provide mixed-use accommodations for various camping preferences.
Seasonal considerations heavily impact camping in the Westfield area, with most campgrounds operating from mid-May through mid-October. "Our first time in Vermont, we were coming from Montreal, Quebec. Lake Carmi in Franklin is less than 1 1/2 hours from Montreal with a really pleasant drive through very scenic routes," noted one visitor. Winter conditions close most camping areas, though some state parks maintain year-round accessibility for day use. The region experiences significant temperature variations, with summer highs typically in the 70s-80s°F and cooler evenings, especially at higher elevations. Many campgrounds require reservations, particularly for waterfront sites and weekend stays during peak season. Cell service remains inconsistent throughout the area, with better coverage near larger towns.
Waterfront camping dominates the regional camping experience, with sites on Lake Memphremagog and various smaller lakes receiving consistent visitor praise. Several campgrounds feature direct water access for swimming, fishing, and boating activities. Campers frequently highlight privacy and natural surroundings as key attributes of their experience. "The sites were long and spacious. We had one right next to the playground so our daughter could walk straight to it without having to cross a road," shared one reviewer about a family-friendly campground. Developed campgrounds typically provide water, electric hookups, and shower facilities, while more remote camping areas offer greater solitude with limited amenities. Proximity to hiking trails, mountain biking routes, and small Vermont towns provides additional recreational opportunities beyond the immediate camping area.

Car camped
Was lucky to get a tent camping spot due a late cancellation on holiday weekend. Arrived at sunset. Staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful. Site T1 looked out over the lake, had electric and water, and was adjacent to the bathroom. Absolutely no privacy or separation from adjacent tent site but didn’t bother me. Hot shower was 15 ft walk away. Recommend reservations since there’s not many other options in Newport. Columbus Day weekend was their closing weekend and this was Saturday night of that weekend.

Car camped
Car camped on Sunday of Columbus Day weekend in October. This was their closing weekend and lots of spaces were available. Stayed in tent circle loop and it was almost empty. Great access to lake shore and bike path. Walked back toward marina and town in the evening and ran in the morning the other direction going out to Rock Point. Didn’t use the shower facilities. The bathroom near our loop only had sinks and toilets and was fine.

Hard To Complain
We took the kayaks out in the morning and spent the afternoon relaxing by the beach. Pretty hard to complain about a weekend like that.

Full Hookups
Came through with our RV for a couple nights and honestly wished we had planned for longer. The full hookups made everything really easy and the campground was a nice stop on our trip.

North Beach Campground
Great location
Stayed here to be able to do the bike trail. Was warned to keep the bikes locked up. The sites are very close together. The picnic tables and fire pits(tire rims) are moveable. Our picnic table was in rough shape and broken.
The bathrooms have keypads on them but on our last morning there was a guy in the bathroom with his pants on the floor sitting in a shower chair for a couple of hours. The bathrooms also have spiders all throughout them. The water pressure was high and the showers were hot.

My Favorite Afternoon
We spent one afternoon doing absolutely nothing except sitting near the beach with snacks and a couple of books. No sightseeing and no schedule. It ended up being my favorite afternoon of the entire trip.

Great, quiet campground
Kings Bay is a great, quiet little campground. The staff is very helpful and understanding. This is our shakedown trip before we head south, we have been here a month after purchasing our new fifth wheel. When we pulled in, it was pouring rain and Steve from the front office came out to help and offered the clubhouse to our kids while we set up. He put a movie on for them and let them sit in the lounge. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is there is no playground for the kids, plenty of open spaces and a lot of kids running around!

Great Stopping Point
Kings Bay made a great stopping point during our trip through northern New York. We were able to shower, get everything connected, catch up on a few things using the Wi-Fi, and recharge before the next part of our drive. Very convenient setup for RV travelers.
